When you first launch the app you will need to set it up. This is a quick process and only needs to be done the first time. You’ll need to specify your country and your streaming provider(s). After this is done you’re taken to your personalized main screen of what’s popular.

The bar along the top allows you to pick a specific provider, whether you want movies and/or TV shows, and you can explore the filters.

These filters include picking a date it was released (by year), the rating by different services such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, the price, whether you want to rent or purchase, the genre, and picture quality.

There are other ways to search as well, you can search by a specific title or actor/actress, check out what’s new, or the most recent price drops.

Tap on any title that interests you to learn about where it can be found, if it is free or you need to buy it, the rating, and more. You can also access a synopsis, trailers, teasers, and more depending on the title. Of course, you can add items to your own watch list so you can refer back to them later.

Overall, the user experience is extremely smooth. I performed searches for all kinds of titles and had no problem finding information. 

A big reason why it's so smooth is due to the regular updates released by the developers in order to fix bugs and make minor improvements to the overall performance and optimization of this app. 

Not only that, but the content is displayed instantly so you never have to wait. As more and more people opt for streaming services and app like JustWatch becomes even more useful and necessary. Think of it as your own personal concierge to television and movie entertainment.
